Consideration, discussion, and possible adoption of Ordinance No. 3524, an ordinance amending Section 5.3.B.5 of the City of Broken Arrow Zoning Ordinance; repealing all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict herewith; and declaring an emergency

Background:
Modifications to the Broken Arrow Zoning Ordinance are being proposed to bring the requirements regarding residential connectivity in line with the requirements of the International Fire Code. Currently Section 5.3.B.5 states that residential developments with more than twenty (20) dwelling units shall include a minimum of two (2) separate points of access that lead to two separate locations on an arterial street(s).
Per Section D107.1 of the International Fire Code, “Developments of one or two-family dwellings where the number of dwelling units exceeds 30 shall be provided with two separate and approved fire apparatus access roads, and shall meet the requirements of Section D104.3”.
The proposed modification removes Section 5.3.B.5 of the Zoning Ordinance. Residential connectivity is addressed by the Broken Arrow Subdivision Regulations in Section 6.2 (private street/gated communities) and in Section 6.3 (public street subdivisions). The Subdivision Regulations are being proposed to be updated at this same meeting to bring Sections 6.2 and 6.3 into conformance with the International Fire Code.
On March 22, 2018 the Broken Arrow Planning Commission voted 3-0 recommending approval of the modifications of the Land Subdivision Code as presented by staff.
Staff recommends that the Council adopt Ordinance No. 3524 and approve the Emergency Clause.
